Wow, Friday already, the week has flown by and home school has gone great this week. Finishing up earlier and have been able to work on crafts and cards. Have enjoyed my kiddos so much this week. Which is why for November 8th, I had read verses on children and what a blessing they are from the Lord. Some of the verses I have read are Deuteronomy 11:19 And ye shall teach them our children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. III John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Psalm 113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of her children. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure,and whether it be right. I love what the Bible has to say about our children. The fact remains though, they are not my children, they are only a gift from God for awhile. And though at times that breaks my heart to think I am not far from them leaving home, I pray daily that they only follow and serve the Lord in whatever way He has plans for them. I look at my children while their sleeping (the most peaceful time in my home) and though my heart breaks for everything they have gone through, my heart fills with pride at the young man and young lady they have become through our trial. I try not to go back to the horrible months we spent apart but at times I cannot help to go back and listen to the statements made by our children. The prayers they prayed, the prayer requests that they made in church, the testimonies they had given. The fact that everyday they would wake up and put our day in Gods hands. That they learned how to praise the Lord down to the simplest thing. Even though our trail was and still is a very difficult situation for our family, I can never thank the Lord enough for the blessings through our trial but also the drawing us nearer to Him, all four us. My children are the reason I made it through every day the past year and a half. My childrens faith, made mine stronger. My childrens prayers put me to sleep at night peacefully. This has not been easy on them and they have given up so much to follow the Lords will but I know that there is great things coming out of our trial and boy does it make me glittery sometimes to think, the great things could be OUR CHILDREN. God could be molding them, making them for great plans through our familys trial. My two children are as different as salt and pepper but as we all know those are two ingredients that always go together. I am a very proud mom and I could have never asked for better children for me. Their not perfect, they fight, they whine, their dramatized but they are lovable, they love snuggle, they love family time and always being together, they love going to church (even with the language barrier) and their PERFECT for me. Travis and Savannah you are my greatest gift from the Lord, the greatest blessings everyday for me. I love you so very much and I thank the Lord for you both daily.
